I have just harvested 3 plants which i grew using my regular method of vegging for 4 weeks then flip to 12/12 for the remainder (usually 11-12 weeks with the strain i grow). I've hit a problem where for one reason or other my last grow ran over by a couple of weeks, those trichs just wouldn't ripen!!! Anyway, it's way to cold here during the winter to grow, so i have until mid November to finish and have enough for christmas/new year. I can start to grow again around the start of February.
I remember reading a journal on this site a while back that was about an experiment to do 12/12 seed to harvest. It was very detailed and well put together. I knew i had it bookmarked somewhere so i dug it up and over the past few days re-read the whole thing from start to finish. It was brilliant and inspirational. RandyRocket was the author, link to it is here https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/151253-12-12-seed-harvest-1-a.html . He called the thread "One Ounce Honnies". and out of 15 plants he got almost 14.5 ounces. Don't know if he's still around here or still growing for that matter. But it has me right in the mood to do this 12/12 seed to harvest myself, and i'll try and document it half as good as RR.
So here goes
Here's my setup.
Cabinet:
4.5' x 5' x 2' Cabinet (9'sq/45'Cubed)
Lighting:
Grow Control 400w Star Ballast.
400w HPS bulb
Ventilation:
2 x Server cabinet fans (1 Intake, 1 Exhaust)
2 x 8" Oscillating Fan
1x 6" Fan
Medium:
Peat Moss
erlite 4:1 ratio
Nutes:
Plagron Terra Bloom Complete, NPK 2:2:4
Seeds:
10 White Widow seeds from my own stock (an ill fated 1st grow that left me with a lifetime supply of seeds). Straight into soil

9/10 seeds that were planted about 10 days ago have sprouted. I've transplanted to 2l pots. They'll probably stay in these for the duration of their lifetime (gonna try and replicate RandyRocket's success as much as possible). I generally plant 10 seeds with the hope of getting 5 females which i usually veg for 4 weeks first then transplant the healthiest 4 females to 20l pots (converted water-cooler bottles
). We'll see how things progress before i decide for certain.
This will be an experience if nothing else. Don't know what to expect. RR got almost an ounce per plant in 11 weeks. If i can get 5 female to produce 2-3 ounces i'll be very happy. Should be enough to see me through the cold winter months to Spring.
